Should the Borg ever appear in another Star Trek series again?

What are your opinions about the Borg?

Overdone and best left behind.

It needs to be done right, I'm sorry to say I was convinced by their use in Picard. The reclaimation cube was a neat idea, but tainted by slaughtering the recovered XBs. I liked the Borg becoming federation allies, could be more stories to explore there. But ultimately the purity of their concept has eroded.

Only if they're Swedish.

The Jurati Borg, yes, definitely. The “old” Borg, definitely not — their story is done (or should be). Though you could maybe do more with their follow-on effects (say, the XBs) if anything more is done in the PIC era.

Now, for machine threats I would like to see more of, you’ve got the extragalactic cyber-Cthulhu things out there — that could work just as well in any later era, such as SFA’s.

What was cool was Guinan saying in Q Who that maybe one day the Borg would see the Federation as more than technology to absorb, and that kinda being paid off.

One last thing, you maybe could re-retcon the Borg Queen as a figure head the Borg invented to think it was directing everything but in reality is at the whim of the collective. A reflection of the collective with personality.
